Inspiration for Ideas

Homeschooling is a treat. It really is. I love to write down projects and school work down in my planner. And the kiddos love following a list. BUT a few days yo just do not want to do anything. So what I do is go on a "field trip" or take the kids to go see some friends they have not seen in a while. You can actually be inspired by visiting other places. It happens for us. We go to the museum and look for different ways to incorporate the displays in a subject for school work. Take a couple of pictures, go home and talk about it and then find a documentary or a worksheet, (make a worksheet). Going to the park. Ask your kids to name the types of trees that they find. Take a pine-cone home and make a diagram out of it. There could be some really fun stuff to do. I think we are going to make some leaf art. Have Fun! Pictures will follow

Product Description

Whoever said that learning about U.S. geography had to be boring must not have read The Scrambled States of America. We fell head-over-heels for Laurie Keller?s hilarious story and knew that it had the making for a great game. As with her book, we hope our game provides a fun way to enrich basic knowledge of U.S. geography. Players learn the names, capitals, nicknames, shapes and positions of the states through a myriad of visual teasers, language riddles and geography challenges. After playing, you?ll see that there?s more to the 50 States than meets the eye! HOW TO PLAY: Quick! Find a state that ends with the letter A. Now find one that borders Tennessee. Have fun learning about the United States in this madcap game of observation and quick reflexes. Collect cards by matching states to a Scramble card. Or ?Go the Distance? and find a state?s closest neighbor. Whoever scrambles to match and collect the most state cards wins. 2 to 4 Players. Playing Time: About 20 minutes
